(2*x - 1)/(x - 2)

Detail solution

Apply the quotient rule, which is:

$\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$

$f{\left(x \right)} = 2 x - 1$ and $g{\left(x \right)} = x - 2$ .

To find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$ :
1. Differentiate $2 x - 1$ term by term:
  1. The derivative of the constant $-1$ is zero.
  2. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
    1. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$
    So, the result is: $2$
  The result is: $2$
To find $\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}$ :
1. Differentiate $x - 2$ term by term:
  1. The derivative of the constant $-2$ is zero.
  2. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$
  The result is: $1$
Now plug in to the quotient rule:

$- \frac{3}{\left(x - 2\right)^{2}}$

The answer is:

$- \frac{3}{\left(x - 2\right)^{2}}$
